366 Mr. P. L. Sclater on the Neotropical Pipits. 
6. Anthus nattereri, sp. nov. (PI. X.) 
Anthus correndera, Pelz. Orn. Bras. p. 69 (Natt. no. 441). 
The bird which Hr. v. Pelzeln has placed, in his excellent 
memoir on Natterer’s collection, under the name A. corren- 
dera seems to me to be quite distinct from that species; and 
I propose to rename it after its discoverer. I have one skin 
in my own collection, received in exchange from Vienna; and 
Hr. V. Pelzeln has kindly lent me a second.

N.B. In the plate (PI. X.) the hill is made rather too large. 
The short thick bill (fig. Za) seems to render this bird 
distinct from any other American species known to me. The 
plumage is altogether more tawny or rufous; there is a pretty 
distinct eye-stripe ; the strise on the breast are few and linei- 
form; and the legs are rather stout. The hind claw is unfor¬ 
tunately imperfect in one specimen; in the other it is long 
and slender (see fig. 3 h ). 
The wings are shorter than in A. correndera. The first 
four primaries are equal, or nearly so, in length ; and the fifth 
is about *125 inch shorter, the sixth more than as much 
shorter again. But too much stress should never be placed 
upon wing-formulse, as the proportions will always be found 
to vary when a series is examined. 
The tail is rounded at the end, and the feathers are 
very pointed. The outer rectrix is pale smoky, with a 
slight black elongated patch towards the base on the inner
